Topaz we are hoping that a lot of people are winners. No one person needs all that money I hope many get to share it.

Me...we did the office pool thing.

I agree, cater. Plus, people that win obscene amounts of money are usually broke within just a few years. Too much publicity, friends treat you differently, etc. Many wish they never won it.

All these tickets here between ours and a office pool and no winnings one card has two numbers and the power ball that's it. Very disappointed people in this home tonight.

Yes I checked I had 0 numbers. This is the first (and last) time I play the lottery. You have more of a chance of being struck by lightening or hit by a bus than winning money. lol.

North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rica had the winners. Hoping it's one of y'all! Guess I'll go to work today after all. LOL

I heard on the news today that these are *more* likely to happen to you than winning this lottery:

- A vending machine falling on you and killing you.

- An asteroid storm killing you.

- Becoming U.S. president.

But people throw their money at it constantly hoping for the an impossible dream. Just save and invest all the money you're putting into the lottery.

I've invested and saved all my life, I have no debt and can afford a little fun with disposable income. Losen up.

Exactly.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Bummer. I didn't win. Oh well. Better luck next time.

I actually know someone who won the Ohio lottery TWICE! It was the smaller one that is "only" a million dollars. I don't know if they even have that smaller lottery here anymore as I generally don't play.

The first time he won, he had to split it with so many other people, that after taxes he got less than me made a year as a pharmacist. The second time he won, he had to split with 3 people.

Darn, I didn't win either.

SHALLOTTE, N.C. —

One of the three winning tickets in Wednesday’s Powerball drawing belongs to Marie Holmes, a 26-year-old mother with four kids, one of whom has cerebal palsy. (Source: FoxWilmington.com)

Holmes worked at Walmart and McDonald’s but had quit to take care of her children.

When she was asked if she’s ready to deal with that much money, Holmes said, “I’m ready for it. I’m ready to embrace the change. I’m very grateful for what’s about to happen for my family.” (Watch interview.)

She said she will donate some of the money to her church and then put aside money for her children to go to college.
